Task 1 :-

#cd Desktop
#mkdir mydata
#cd mydata
#touch {1..10000}

for compression
#tar -cvf myfile.tar mydata ----> by using this command , mydata convert
into myfile.tar
#du -sh myfile.tar ----> check size of file

Task 3 :- #gzip mydata.tar


----> compress folder
#du -sh mydata.tar.gz ----> check size after compression
#gunzip mydata.tar.gz ----> used to remove gz extention

Task 4 :- Perform Compression by using bzip2 tool


#bzip2 myfile.tar
#bunzip2 myfile.tar.bzip2 ----> used to remove bz2 extention of
file

Task 5 :- Perform compression by using xzip tool


#xz myfile.tar
#unxz myfile.tar.xz ---> used to remove xzip extention
